On Thursday, March 22, the Dundee gym was the epicenter of a vortex of scientific excitement with dozens of students and their families and Dundee staff reveling in the marvels of scientific discovery!Matt Martin, a PTO volunteer, managed and coordinated the Science Fair. He recruited two judges to evaluate the approximately 30 student projects. He also supplied trophies for the top three projects of each grade, plus two ‘Student Choice’ awards. The Science Fair was open for participation to all students in third to sixth grades.
